At the heart of St Albans’ Verulamium Park lies a beautiful lake, home to a diverse range of bird species including Kingfishers, Herons, Swans, Geese, Ducks, Gulls and Coots while the wider park provides a habitat for Foxes, Rabbits, Badgers and many other animals. This peaceful oasis, however, becomes a place of terror for birds and other wildlife during firework displays held around the lake.

Beyond the impact on wildlife , fireworks displays contribute to the significant distress of pets, horses, sheep, cows and other domesticated  animals. The chemicals released from fireworks pollute the air, while the debris left behind can end up polluting the lake and surrounding areas, affecting both terrestrial and aquatic life. 

The time is now to act on behalf of the voiceless residents of Verulamium Park. By signing this petition, you are advocating for change. Let’s work together to protect the beauty and biodiversity of Verulamium Park – sign now to help us ban the fireworks displays in Verulamium Park, St Albans!
